Well shit if he can not chunk 80% of my ADC health at lvl 3 then that's be great so I don't have to listen to him saying how I'm useless

Nope, they consider him a carry.

He just happens to be playable as a support. He's balanced around his mid lane.

Kinda like Annie, except these days she has to be balanced around her support capacity, because using her as one has been around too long.

Pretty much.

We think Brand's a mage who can be played in the support position really effectively. He's also a mage who can be played in the mid position really effectively.

And this is where we can see this game balancing going wrong.

What are your opinions about a singed smite strategy that a player can keep >50% winrate with in support?

From what I hear his win rate was closer to 30% when,he was playing "support" Singed. The 50% was from his S6 top Singed.

Bring back graves to the bot lane. We have few adcs and yet graves is sticking to jungle. I'd like to see him to be viable in bot too...

IF the ADCs that are still played bot are properly balanced, we already have more than enough...

Jinx, Cait, Jhin, MF, Sivir, Vayne, Lucian, Tristana, Ashe, Draven, Ezreal. Even if you ignore stuff like Varus or Corki that get played Mid a lot (still Bot more than 60%, though, according to champion.gg), that's already more than 10.

In total, champion.gg lists 18 champions played Bot more than 10% (the lowest being Quinn at 12%, she's played mostly Top).

HOW ABOUT SINGED?

He's considered a support but a carry support. He's meant to be high threat high damage but lacks utility like Janna or Nami may have.

It's definitely frustrating to lane against him when his damage is so darn high. Best thing is picking a Morg against him to spell shield his stun

PSA: BRAND IS A MID LANER AND A SUPPORT, SAME GOES FOR ANNIE AND ZYRA

LUX NO, SHE'S NOT A SUPPORT, JUST MID LANE, STICK TO MID LANE.

i dont consider him a support and i find he does nothing but provide damage ( seems like a carry champ to me ) he has no buffs , heals, shields, cc, tankyness etc for his team.. he goes full damage outside item 2301 and if you play a traditional support into him you lack damage as a team if the rest of your team dont flat out scale all other enemy champs .
